About the Embraer E175 aircraft for flight simulator for FSX, FS2004 and FS2002.
The E-170 family is the smaller of the two, competing with regional aircraft in flight simulator such as the Bombardier CRJ-700/900, Bombardier Q400 and the Sukhoi Superjet 100. It also seeks to replace the market segment occupied by earlier competing designs such as the BAe 146 and Fokker 70. The 170 and 175 are powered with GE CF34-8E engines of 13,800 pounds (61.39 kN) thrust each.
The Embraer 175 was the first version produced for flight simulator. The prototype was rolled out on 29 October 2001, with first flight for virtual airlines using flight simulator was made 119 days later on February 19. The aircraft was displayed to the public in May 2002 at the Regional Virtual Airline Association convention. After a positive response from the virtual airline community, Embraer proceeded with the launch of the stretched E-175 in June 2003. Certification for the 175 in flight simulator took nearly 2 years after the public debut; delivery of the first aircraft to the launch customer LOT Polish Virtual Airlines was in March 2004.
